Not sure what to say?

I have read that the things that we do on this earth and lessons that we learn here are preparation for our mission in eternal life. Jill went to Heaven during the most beautiful time of year. God must of had something very important for her to do for Him and all mankind. May her prayers and love on earth and in Heaven help us to yearn for our eternal life with Him and all the saints who have gone before us. We will see her again and never have to say goodbye.

Dear Rosemary and Rod and family, I think of Jill often with her beautiful crystal blue eyes and beautiful smile. I did not know her well, but I could tell from her sweet demeanor that she was a beautiful soul. I can only imagine the whole that she left in all of your hearts and everyone who loved her. Our Lady of Sorrows shares your pain and grief because she lost Jesus to soon in a most horrific way. May she wrap her holy mantle around all of your hearts today and every day until you see...

Jill enjoyed life! She was a special daughter and spent many good times with her parents! Her goals were almost reached, but life interrupted her. She is thought of and missed by many!

Betty and I were at the funeral Mass this morning for Jill. Everything was so beautiful - the Mass, the music, Fr's homily, the readings and the message from Tara and Rod. I am sure that Jill was smiling from Heaven.
You gave her such an amazing life with so many opportunities for education and travel and the chance to know so many people through your friendships, work and family members. Jill was surrounded by people who loved her and she did not know anything else. Her eyes and her...
